“I want to kill/ShaRen Show” mocks TV competitions and spotlights directing talent Zhou Nan

I want to kill/ShaRen Show – a competition for killers

In his latest short “ShaRen Show” for directing competition “I want to film/Shine Show,” Beijing Film Academy graduate Zhou Nan mocks the competition itself. The clip’s dark humor, ingenious allusions, and surprise ending made the clip a breakout favorite. The Hunan TV directing competition will give its winner a contract for a 50 million yuan film scripted by author Guo Jingming.

Through the competition, Zhou Nan has already won a Nokia ad deal with his short “Reflection” in the 7to6 round of the competition. He also worked with Meteor Shower actor and Super Boy Yu Haoming for the 6to5 round “Fireworks.” In the next round (3to2), Zhou Nan and two other directors will also film the Super Boys top 12 commercials.  I’m so excited for that and his debut film!

    @idarklight: Thanks, I got that after I watched it the second time. It went by kinda fast the first time so I didn’t actually notice the girl. Thanks for clarifying though. ^_^

    It’s a new show this year. Shine Show is also the name of the new Hunan TV – Shanda Interactive Film company that was formed earlier this year.
